Re: HOW ABOUT CHRISTMAS TEA IN LONDON?

[ Edited ]

@Oznell   Thank you!  I just watched the video.  I just had London Christmas tea!  🎄☕️🥂I doubt I will get to London, so it was fun to watch. Nice elegant afternoon.   Everything looked amazing.  It would be a fun day with several forum posters I enjoy.  You are certainly one of them.  I would have to invite the what's cooking ladies in the kitchen forum too!  

I do enjoy your home posts, thank you for always taking the time to post beautiful comments and pictures.

Thank you so much for posting this!  It was lovely and it just put me in another whole mindset and world!  I will never experience any of these things, so just getting a tiny peek at all of it was just wonderful.  I loved it all.

The Ritz online site gives a more wide-angled shot of the setting, pretty --

I think that was a tacky, rude, ignorant thing to do.

@Oznell   What a lovely post. The Ritz Hotel is beautiful and the restaurant and tea room are lovely with their Christmas decor.

 

 Such a gorgeous setting for an elegant Christmas Tea. Thank you for posting this. Having afternoon tea at the Ritz in London,is something that I would really enjoy.

 

 The only hotels that I have had tea at were the Princess and Elbow Beach hotels in Bermuda. It was very British and elegantly done.

 

  For ten years, I did Valentine Tea parties for my daughters and grand daughters. For all the grand daughters' tenth birthdays, I had tea parties for them.

 

  If anyone is interested in having their own tea party, I can post a simple recipe for my home made "clotted cream".

 

  To me, it is much easier to put the clotted cream on top of the preserves, when preparing your scone.
